I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned about my nose piercing. It's been 4 months and it hasn't healed properly yet. There's no pain, but it's discolored and there's redness around the piercing. Plus, there's this black mark and a bump that's not making it look neat at all. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.

I've been dealing with genital ringworm and initially, it was incredibly itchy. After seeing a doctor and getting the right medication, the itchiness has eased up. But I'm really worried about the scars that are still there. It's been three months, and they just don't seem to be going away. What can I do to help clear these scars up?
To help clear the scars left from genital ringworm, you can use a topical antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area. In addition, you can also apply a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 4% once daily to help fade the scars. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin. If the scars persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
